Vail Mountain Alpine/Downhill Resorts Resort (Are you this resort?)

General Comments/Likes

Great big bowls. Tons of terrain. A crown jewel of Colorado skiing. On a powder day it is your best friend. Fast, nice lifts. Great variety of runs, trees, bumps, groomers, powder stashes and anything you desire.

Dislikes

As a snowboarder, catwalks are your enemy. Vail has a ton of these to traverse around their huge mountain. What sucks worse is Texans skiing catwalks six abreast, blocking everyone else from gliding by them on the catwalk. Go here on a weekday. The weekends are too crowded. Plan on spending A LOT of money as well. Lift tickets are over $90 and parking is a good $20. Pack a lunch or spend another $20 on a burrito and one beer.
